Editor Refill goes Bryan one bet
ter bv saving that he never expects
to eat and apeak with either him or
Cleveland.
Bryan insists that the last time i
Democrat won the highest Federal
office he did nothing and said noth
ing to promote harmony.
It is hoped that the State Fair
project ma y wean the Macon Tele
graph’s mind away from the ft tai
fascination of trying to nominate
Cleveland for a third term.
The report, that, half the poach
buds are killed sounds bad, but is
good news if accurately correct, as
'it will insure a good crop of fine
fruit from trees not overburdened.
The editor of the Norfolk Land

“Os all th« pl agues, good Heaven, thy

“The present pension system in
Georgia wdl boa live issue in the
next campaign if the legislature
fails to act during the summer ses

Referring to a recent widely
jopied article in the News and Suu,

some of the colored people in thi-
State that Mr. Roosevelt is a negro.

The Savannah Press makes this
rgooi suggestion , “There are two
cities in Georgia just a hundred
miles apart, Macon and Atlanta.
Emii will have a fair this year.
Why not combine on Griffin, half
way between, and by pooling their
, issues hold one big fair?”
Sparta Ishmaelite: “Macon got
rtfce State fair over Atlanta, but the
latter is notdown-hearted. She has
' the elephant, B )bby Walthour, the
gjolice commission and an occasional
visit from Bam Jones. It. is a big
oupthat such blessings would not fill

Castro, the much maligned and
despised of America’s bunko states
men, has at any rate found out how
to make the pay the tax.
The powers having been allowed an
indemnity of thirty per cent, on the
custom receipts of Venezuela, he has
increased the customs duties just
thirty percent., and as all the im
port' rs in that country are foreign

indi unity to pay. Maybe they will
no’ increase the price to the con-

OUT TWEEDING TWEED-
There is a good old expression in
regard to “out Heroding Herod,’’
but we never looked to see it
rivaled by what can only be termed
“OutTwiedmg Tweed” But the
recent utterances of one J E Iwaro
Addicka, of Delaware, oa the
strength of * a bureauful ot
clothes can fairly oe considered
ven more audacious than New
York’s Democratic autocrat’s
famous query of: “Well, what are
vou going to do about it ?”
The utterance referred to con
sists in a statement issued to the
Republicans of Delaware, and its
extra audaciousness lies partly, or
mainly, in the fact that it is a threat
pure and simple, and not merely a
so Tnful inquiry.
Here is toe c including paragraph
of this remarkable document, as
quoted by the New York Mail and
Express:
“No man who refuses to vote for
J. Edward Addioks in the legisla
ture will ever be allowed to hold
any office in Delaware, nor will any
bolter sympithiz its be permitted to
come to the front. Union Republi
cins will nominate a straight ticket
in Wilmington and throughout the
State in the long future. As to the
appointments, Congressman Bill
cannot get a federal appointment
After March 4 the appointments,
according to custom, ought to go to
the chairman of the Union Republi
can State committee and the
national committeeman, J. Edward
Addicks. We will see where the
power will lie.
“J. EDWARD ADDICKS.”
What will the president, who
appointed Addicks’ Man Friday,
Byrne, say to this? What will the
honest and upright members of the
Republican party say to it? What
can be said to it in a general way,
except that the ringstreaked and
striped ghost of old Tweed must now
sorrowfully admit that the bossism
of today out bosses his wildest
dreams? asks the Augusta
Chronicle.
The Savannah Press, whose editor
is a member of the legislature,
makes this reference to a Spalding
statesman, that, may be a surprise
to many of his friends—not as to
his ability to conduct the office, but
that he is in the race: “The pres
ent legislature has two more ses
sions, but the correspondents are
still writing about the next speaker
ship. It is said that Newton Morris
may run for solicitor general. This
may leave the race for speaker be
tween Mithell, of Thomas ; George,
of Morgan ; Howard, ot Baldwin,
and Jim Fiynt, of Spalding.”

IN GREATER GEORGIA
And Mayor Bailey Proposes to Let the World
Know It.
Mayor Bailey was the only Griffin
representative at the congress 'called to
considtr the matter of a “Greater Geor
gia,” though he had appointed three
other rep. esentative citizens. None
the less, Griffin was well represented
and the subscription of $1 Xithat he very
properly took it upon himself to make,
being tne minimm amount that would
allow this place to be included among
i those advertising for desirable immigra-
I tion, will without doubt be readily

I '‘“Greater Griffin” is just as allitera

Atlanta, have not, and there is no bet
ter way to do this than to take advan

in for its share, and those having prop
erty for sale outside the city could well
afford to contiibnte, as most of the new
settlers around here have invested in
country rather than town property.
President J. K Orr will within ths
next day or two appoint the sx-ecntive
council of the association, as he was em
powered to do by the resolutions adopt
ed at the meeting. This committee will

he had d finitely determined up n

established in Georgia under the

confident it will,bring valuable and
important returns to producers
This model station will be conduct
ed entirely at. the government’s ex
pense under the direction of Secre
tiry Wilson and Chief Chemist
Wiley. This station will have no
relation to the experiment station
atGrifiiu, being under entirely sep
arate management.
The Sparta Ishmaelite says “the
movement to advertise Georgia’s
resources and advantages is a good
one, even if rather late. There
could not be a better location for
industrious, thrifty settlers. Geor
gia would be an ideal borne for the
subjugated patriots of the Boer re
publics. They would find a fellow
feeling here among the old Confed
erates.
The Day of Iconoclasm-
Sparta lahmaellte.
More than ever before, today is
the day of iconoclasm. The images,
whether of systems or cf creeds,
which one once worshipped, he now
sees erased under the wheels of pro
gressive truth, if not with joy at
least without regret. The spirit of
what may be termed individualism
is abroad in the earth as never be
fore, in spite of the social and edu
cational systems which would mold
all alike after the same satisfied
and unthinking pattern. More
largely than ever before men are
doing their own thinking, and
prosecuting their own searches
after truth. And there are more
earnest searchers after truth. And
there are more earnest searchers, in
new fields and in old ones, unfet
tered by dogmas and old century
beliefs, than the unthinking would
suppose. It is not unfettered action
and an unrestrained will that con
stitute real freedom. It is not de
votion to creeds, for then its high
est phase would be found in Budd
hism and Mohammedanism. The
greatest of all teachers, the com
ing king of a redeemed earih,
settled this question and
voiced the great need of
humanity when be declared:
“The truth shall make you free.”
In some way, the consciousness of
this fact that one can only be really
free by incorporating the truth into
h’s being, and that that can be ac-
only by striking out into
only be a prpper tiibnte to the imp. r
t->nce of Griffin and tne indomitable en
ergy of her mayor, as well as the act.ve
part he took in the convention, if Mr
Bailey should be appointed on this < otn
mitiee.
The fitvt thing this council will have
to do is to elect a treasurer and put him

The subscriptions will probably be
called iu withm thirty' days, so that th
i necessary contracts may b- let for ad

the proposed literature got out within
the in-xt two months and ready for uis
tribntion
The i xecutive council will also h <ve
to determine what States are to be in
vaded with Georgia literature. Experi
ence has proven tint little is acc m
plished by a general distribution of a
small amount of literature over a large
territory, and that the best results are
obtained by a thorough distribution in
-ome particular section. For this rea
-t'li it is expected that the executive
council, as was suggested by President
Orr, will select two IVestern States and
flood them with literature relating to
Georgia, putting it in the hands of
everyone of the reading public.
There is little doubt that every section
of the State will hasten to join the
movement, which will be pushed to an
early success.

For this reason we want to acquaint
them with what we consider one of
the very best remedies on the mar
ket for coughs, colds, and that
alarming complaint, croup. We
refer to Chamberlain’s Cough Rem
edy. We have used it with such
good results in our family so long
that it has become a household ne
cessity. By its prompt use we
havan’t any doubt butthat it has
time and again prevented croup
The testimony is given upon our

our readers, especially those who
have small children, always keep it
in their homes as a safeguard

Evansville, Pad., Feb. 21. —The Ohio
river here has reached the 40-foot
mark and .the river men expect it to
go 3 feet higher. The lowlands are
under water and the waterworks are
surrounded.
The loss to farmers is already heavy,
much stock having pei.ished. One
hundred thousand dollars’ worth of
corn has been swept away. Many
people have been driven from their
homes-. Below here and in the neigh,
borhood of Mount Vernon the river is
10 miles wide and families have been

ground. ,
Steamers are running, but are havn

ADOPT TRACEY'S TACTICS.
Fleeing Bank Robbers Terrorizing
Missouri Countryside.
St. Louis, Feb. 21. —Special dispatch
es indicate that Bill Rudolph and
Frank Lewis, th® Union, Mo., bank
robbers who were located in a cabin
near Richview, 111., have again escap
ed and a posse of citizens in addition
to that of Sheriff Howe are being form' ’
ed to pursue them, i
The entire community is in arms.
According to reports from communi
ties through which the robbers have
passed they have adopted Tracey’s
tactics intimidating farmers and
threatening to kill any persons that
may be sent in pursuit of them. The
two men converse only with women ,
and children from whom all the details
concerning them have been learned
except the general description given ,
by a hunter who encountered them in
the woods Friday.
They approach a farm house, and 1
standing some distance away call
loudly until some one makes his ap- j
pearance. If it is a man they keep '
on talking to him until he comes clos- !
er up and then they throw their rifles |
■down on him and order him to leave j
the premises. Like Tracey, they ac
company this order with a threat to
massacre the entire family if any at
tempt is made to summon help. In this
way they have obtained food. At one
farm house they found the farmer’s
wife and children alone. They or
dered her to get breakfast and chatted
freely while she was cooking the meal.
All questions concerning themselves
they parried. The man supposed to
be Rudolph stood on guard while the
other ate and Lewis then acted as
picket.
OFFICIALS ARE RETICENT.
Little Learned as to Plans of Panama
Company.
Paris, Feb. 21. —The officials of the 1
Panama company are maintaining a
rigid reserver concerning their plans.
One of the chief officers said it was
considered of the utmost importance
owing to the delicate stage of the ne
gotiations not to throw anything into
the discussion which might have unfa
vorable results.
At the company’s headquarters -ac
tivity has been shown since the receipt
of the advices from Attorney General
Knox, saying the company’s offer of
the sale of its property is subject to
the ratification of the United States.
Persons in a position to know the
course of the negotations do not con
sider the attitude of the company an
tagonistic to the proposition of the
United States. The officials continue
to take an optimistic view of the suc
cessful close of the transaction, as
they consider that the position of the
company is such that the purchase can
be consummated by an extra session
of the senate in case no action is tak
en before March 4.
